RM10 (La posa plastica / The plastic attitude)
At best, this advertising proposes a weak message.
The use of a will known testimonial (Lilli Gruber, the anchorwoman of the RAI 1 ) with in hand a dented bottle of plastic matter, tries to exploit a conditioned visual weak identity by similarity (if you do this you will be like Lilli Gruber, notorious ecological champion).
The text within the image plays on a semantic ambiguity ( In Italian "posa plastica" = sculptural attitude, or = action to place, in special containers, of objects in plastic). The first is a very cultural way of saying, but it can be undertood by near all people without knowing the exactlied meaning of " plasticize ". T
he second is not immediately evoked, with "posa", voice of the verb "posare" (to lay down) instead of "metti" voice of the verb "mettere" (to put).
In the writing at the feet of the image it is proposed, besides the diversified collecting of plastic objects, to do oneself photographed in "posa plastica" (in a plastic attitude), with an object of plastic in hand, to send the photo to the Consorzio Recupero Plastica to become testimonial of the advertising campaign (a conditioned strong identity by similarity ).
Since the actual propensity of the Italian young population, surely photographic studios will have more to do. If then at least the photographated persons will start to place plastic in its special containers (identity by temporal contiguity, or post hoc ergo propter hoc) this advertising got useful.
